New here

Hi i'm new here and looking to make friends.I have had depression for over 8 years and feel very lonley as my hubby works afternoons regular.I have 2 children 8 and 5.Hope to get some support here.

I also feel very miserable and down a lot of the time. I have a boyfriend who doesnt understand me. So i feel alone. I have 2 children aged 12 and 10. You can send me a message if you want to talk.

Welcome! I'm a mother also suffering from social anxiety. Probably depression too but I guess I just don't think about it. Maybe the two go hand in hand?

I really don't believe our children suffer too much from our anxiety issues at least.

Unfortunately yes i do. I started cutting myself about a month and a half ago when i felt like absolute shit and extremely overwhelmed. I was able to stop this when i felt better, but just recently I've gone back to doing this when I begin to feel overwhelmed and empty.
After I did it the first time, it wasn't very noticable, but it's looking like im going to need a pretty far fetched story to explain it now...anyone got a good one? I was thinking something like saying a tree attacked me...you know throw a little humor in there so they can poke fun at me running into a tree and forget about what it looks like.
